vpn connection problem

[Hanumanth Rao]

Hi Gurus,

I have a situation for which i want a solution, hope somebody out there
has got a solution.

I have win98 and win2k professional vpn clients to be connected through
a linux 6.1 box (gateway with ISDN connection) to a vpn server on the
internet.  Im not able to get connected to the vpn server please
suggest.

Scenario

Win98 & Win2K Professional (vpn clients)
                   |
                  V
Red Hat Linux 6.1 (Gateway, ISDN Connection,  MASQ enabled, IP_Forward
enabled)
                   |
                  V
VPN Server (on Internet with real ip)


Please let me know if anything to be done on the linux gateway.

Regards
Rao

many vpn software simply doesnt work through masquerading, no matter 
what you do.
id suggest you try some other vpn software.
or, why not just have redhat connect to the vpn server and route the 
two windows' through there? why bother with two vpn tunnels when you 
only need one?

Can you describe VPN server, i.e. what VPN software it runs? Or if You
want to install it I think you can do that with freeswan
(www.freeswan.org).

Why do you have MASQ enabled on the gateway?
